I have to agree....forgetting the reason for the holidays. It's a shame those Christians transformed the Spring Equinox from a day of rebembering the rebirth of the season cycle and changed it into a day of greiving for a rebellious martyr.
Ooh did I touch a nerve? *grins mischieviously*

Ah, the solstice celebrations in Winter and Spring that have become part of the religious practices of a Transplanted Middle Eastern Religion. Me, I won't EVER forget.

I would say yes. It does seem to me that a lot of people do see the holidays as just an excuse to have a big feast.
Totally forgetting the reason for the holiday in the first place.

I don't think so. there are many Covens and Temples that hold Rituals with great respect to the ancient traditions of the Sabbats and Esbats

Be careful with words such as "real, truth, right, and wrong." These are highly malleable.
